the Water Country, the Hidden Mist Village.
Shuiying Building, conference room.
The five Kirigakure high-ranking officials in the huge conference room all had gloomy faces.
How happy the Konoha's top leaders were, how angry they were.
He originally intended to take advantage of Konoha to rob it, but in the end he failed to gain any advantage and suffered a considerable loss.
Not only were five of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen killed, but even the precious swords that were specially made for them could not be recovered. All five swords were confiscated by Konoha.
For Kirigakure, those ninja swords are actually more important than the owners of the swords. If the people are gone, you can continue to choose, but how can you choose people if the swords are gone?
What made the Kirigakure top leaders even more speechless was that the loss of five of the seven ninja swordsmen was not even the biggest loss. They even lost a Three-Tails Jinchuriki. The Three-Tails died directly. Before the Three-Tails was resurrected, they only had one Six-Tails Jinchuriki left in Kirigakure.
Moreover, two well-known strong men in the Hidden Mist Village, Mizunotsuki Hanguideng Cangyue, also died on the battlefield and became stepping stones for Mu Yue to become famous.
Compared with these losses, the losses of the Kirigakure Ninja Force were not very large. Karutagi Yagura's actions effectively preserved the manpower of the Kirigakure Ninja Force.
"Let's talk about how to deal with Yagura Karuta first." The Third Mizukage said with a cold face, and he looked as if he had decided to severely punish Yagura Karuta.
The other high-ranking members of the Hidden Mist looked at each other obscurely, and for a moment they were unable to guess what the Third Mizukage was thinking.
Everyone knew that Yagura Karuta was the candidate Mizukage valued by the Third Mizukage. For a moment, they could not tell whether the Third Mizukage was disappointed with Yagura Karuta and was ready to give up, or whether the Third Mizukage did not want Yagura Karuta to suffer too severe punishment and took the initiative to speak up.
"Yakura has betrayed the trust of the village and has repeatedly made wrong judgments in major initiatives, causing us in Kirigakure to suffer heavy losses. If he is not punished, what will the ninjas in the village think?" The Third Mizukage continued when no one spoke.
When the Third Mizukage said this, the Kirigakure high-ups understood that the Third Mizukage still didn't want to give up on Karatachi Yagura, and that a punishment that looked decent would be enough.
"Although we lost the war, Yagura was still a diligent commander. He successfully prevented the Kirigakure Ninja Army from suffering heavy losses and preserved its strength well, so that we will not be so passive next time." Master Yuan thought for a while and said.
He did not want to have a disagreement with the Third Mizukage over the position of the Fourth Mizukage. The situation of the Hidden Mist Village was already not good, and if there was some internal strife, it would really be heading towards the abyss of decline.
Moreover, there are no good candidates for the Yuanshi. Among the people of Yagura Karuta's generation, Yagura Karuta is the strongest, and he is also good in other aspects. He is the most suitable person to be the Mizukage.
"The loss of the war cannot be blamed entirely on Yagura. We in Kirigakure had a lot of advantages originally. It was the time when Mizunotsuki Kan and his Seven Ninja Swordsmen were defeated by Hanyu Muyue that turned the situation from favorable to unfavorable. Mizunotsuki Kan bears a great responsibility for the loss of the war." The squad leader of the Kirigakure Jounin Squad also said.
Compared to Karatachi Yagura, who is still alive and has the potential to become the Mizukage, Mizunotsuki Kan, the famous Kirigakure who has already died, is obviously more suitable to take the blame.
Anyway, the person is dead, so it doesn't matter if he has a bad reputation.
"The Xiguashan Puffer Demon and the others are also incompetent." The Kirigakure advisor also dragged out the dead Seven Ninja Swordsmen to take the blame.
After a few words, Goju Yagura became the MVP of the losing side, and the failure of the war was all due to the lack of ability of Mizunotsuki Kan and Xiguashan Pufferfish.
All the senior executives cleverly avoided Kizuna Cangetsu. It was not because they couldn't bear to let Kizuna Cangetsu take the blame because of his good performance, but because the Kizuna clan now had considerable power in Kizuna, and they had to consider the feelings of the Kizuna clan.
The Third Mizukage nodded, agreeing with the higher-ups' statement that Yagura Karuta had both faults and merits, and that the main fault did not lie with Yagura Karuta.
In the end, the punishment that Karajita Yagura received was to be dismissed from all current positions and enter the Anbu to contribute to Kirigakure to atone for his sins.
"The five ninja swords seized by Konoha must be recovered. They are our Kirigakure's precious assets." Then the Kirigakure advisor talked about the five lost ninja swords.
The two strongest swords among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are Samehada and Aoi. Now both of them have been seized by Konoha. How can the Kirigakure advisor be willing to accept this?
"Recovering the ninja sword is certain, but how to recover it is a problem." said the squad leader of the Kirigakure Jounin Squad.
"Given the current situation, we can either send ninja troops into the Land of Fire again to fight Konoha and defeat Konoha.
Or we can negotiate with Konoha and take back the ninja sword by signing a peace treaty."
Kirigakure was the one that initiated the war with Konoha, and it is impossible for Konoha to return the five precious ninja swords to Kirigakure for no reason.
Konoha is now at war on multiple fronts. If Kirigakure is willing to negotiate, even if Kirigakure makes a few demands, as long as they are not too excessive, Konoha is likely to agree.
"It might not be appropriate to start a war again in a short period of time. Konoha's morale is high right now, while ours is low. This will be very disadvantageous to us in Kirigakure." The master said.
He was firmly opposed to starting another war immediately, as it would be a thankless task.
"We cannot sign a peace treaty." The Third Mizukage rejected the idea of signing a peace treaty.
"The ninja sword must be recovered, but not in such a humiliating way."
If there were really peace talks, then the whole incident would become that Kirigakure took the initiative to declare war on Konoha, and then after being defeated took the initiative to seek peace and beg Konoha for ninja swords. It would be too embarrassing. The Third Mizukage did not want such a clownish thing to happen during his term.
The leader of the Kirigakure jonin squad was speechless. This was not right and that was not right. So what should he do?
"Don't make any unnecessary moves. Let's wait and see what happens." The Third Mizukage expressed his thoughts after thinking about it.
He believed that given Konoha's current situation, even if they gained the upper hand, they would not be able to break into the Water Country. This meant that the Hidden Mist Village could just sit back and watch the fight, quietly waiting for the opportunity.
When Konoha shows signs of decline, they can come out again and attack Konoha. If they win, they can gain fame and fortune and also get the ninja sword back.
As for Konoha defeating all enemies and winning, the Third Mizukage had never thought of such an outcome.
After the meeting, Master Yuan sighed and left the Mizukage Building.
This war made him realize the weakness of Kirigakure.
Although there are two Jinchūriki, neither the Three-Tails Jinchūriki nor the Six-Tails Jinchūriki are perfect Jinchūriki, and they cannot fully transform into tailed beasts while awake.
The new generation of ninjas in Kirigakure are far inferior to those in Konoha in strength. Konoha has the yellow flash Minato Namikaze who can tie with the new AB combination of Kumogakure, and Hanyu Mugetsu who can kill the jinchūriki. None of the new generation of ninjas in Kirigakure can make such a name in the ninja world.
Not just one generation, but even the ninjas of Karatachi Yagura's generation were surpassed by Konoha.
Except for Karatachi Yagura who can be compared with one of the Three Ninjas, Mizunotsuki Kan and Hozumi Zangetsu cannot compare with the Three Ninjas.
Mizunotsuki Han and his companions were even killed by Konoha's new generation of ninjas. Both Mizunotsuki Han and Kizuna Zangetsu died at the hands of Mu Yue.
"Master Yuanshi, do you have time now? I've been having some trouble practicing water escape techniques recently." Mei Terumi said when she saw the master's eyes light up.
"What's the problem? Tell me about it." Master Yuan asked with a kind smile when he saw it was Mei Terumi.
Mei Terumi is a talented ninja that he discovered during the Chunin Exam. The master is optimistic about her future and thinks that Mei Terumi will become the leader of the new generation of Kirigakure.
Mei Terumi quickly told the problem she had encountered.
Master Yuan gave the answer after a little thought. Although he had not practiced much due to his age, he was also a famous water-style master in Kirigakure.
"Thank you so much." Mei Terumi bowed to express her gratitude.
"You have to work hard on your training. The opponents you met in Konoha have already made a great reputation on the battlefield." Master Yuan encouraged with a smile.
Three of Konoha's four most famous young geniuses participated in the joint Chunin Exam that Mei Terumi participated in. Among them, Uchiha Obito even lost to Mei Terumi once in the second game.
"An opponent you met in Konoha?" Mei Terumi looked thoughtful.
Of course, Kirigakure would not spread the news of its defeat in the village. Except for Mu Yue who had already become famous in the entire ninja world, Mei Terumi was not very clear about the deeds of Obito and the others.
"Kakashi the Thunder Hatake, Might Guy, the Green Beast of Konoha, they were all ninjas who took part in the Chunin Exam with you." The master briefly recounted the deeds of Kakashi and the others on the battlefield.
Mei Terumi's eyes widened and her mouth opened unconsciously, her face full of shock.
Mei Terumi is well aware that Might Guy is very strong. After all, she has not forgotten the scene of Might Guy beating up Kisame's team.
However, she really didn't expect that Might Guy and his men would become so powerful that they could actually defeat the Seven Ninja Swordsmen head-on.
As a Kirigakure ninja, Mei Terumi is very clear about the value of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen are a special team directly under the Mizukage. Each member is carefully selected from among the jonin, and each is equipped with a powerful ninja sword.
She really couldn't imagine what Kakashi and the others had gone through during this period of time to have such terrifying fighting power. They were the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
During the Chunin Exam, Kakashi and his team had a very good fight with the Kisame team.
Mei Terumi felt a little ashamed. She would sometimes feel proud of her current strength. Her former opponents had reached another level.
"I have to practice harder." Mei Terumi decided to practice harder and become stronger to catch up with Kakashi and the others.
…
Due to the great results of the battle, and the fact that Konoha was deliberately promoting publicity to boost morale, the news that Konoha defeated Kirigakure Mugetsu and killed the Killing Chūriki quickly spread throughout the ninja world.
Land of Earth, Iwagakure Village, Tsuchikage's office.
"The Hidden Mist Village has lost one of its Jinchūriki. The threat to Konoha will increase further." Oonoki was a little surprised as he looked at the latest information in his hand.
In his imagination, Kirigakure would have to fight Konoha on the east coast battlefield for at least two years to wear down Konoha's strength.
"Lieyō Hanyu Mugetsu..." Ohnoki sorted out all the information in his mind and felt that this ninja named Hanyu Mugetsu would be difficult to deal with.
According to existing information, Hanyu Muyue not only possesses a very powerful Flying Thunder God Technique, but also has mastered a very powerful Fire Escape, and his Ice Escape level is also not low.
"We have to speed up our actions in the Rain Country." Ohnoki became more determined to continue making enemies for Konoha.
Konoha is too strong, we must find more enemies for Konoha.
Isn't Hanyu Muyue strong in Fire Essence? Then let Ninja Master Sosuke compete with Hanyu Muyue and see if Hanyu Muyue's Fire Essence can defeat Ninja Master Sosuke who is known as the strongest Fire Essence.
Konoha has four young geniuses, and the Ninja Clan has the mysterious and difficult Nagato. The more Ohnoki thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good idea for the Ninja Clan to fight against Konoha.
The Hidden Cloud Village, the Raikage's office.
"How come Kirigakure was beaten back so quickly? What a bunch of useless things." The Third Raikage was speechless as he looked at the information in his hand.
In fact, Kumogakure has never really attacked Konoha, and a considerable portion of Kumogakure's strength is used to attack Sunagakure.
The Third Raikage's idea was to take down Sand Village while it was weak, then defeat Konoha in one fell swoop, and finally take down Iwagakure, thus becoming the undisputed strongest ninja village in the ninja world.
As for Kirigakure, Kumogakure didn't have any ideas because the Water Country was an island, and it would be more troublesome to fight against it, and defeating three of the five major ninja villages would already prove their strength.
"That's great. It also proves that the Hidden Mist Village is nothing to worry about." The Third Raikage was very open-minded.
Although Kirigakure could not consume Konoha's power as Kumogakure had expected, the weakness revealed by Kirigakure during the war also meant that Kumogakure had one less opponent on its road to hegemony.
"Tobi is familiar with the power of the Eight-Tails. Neither the Fiery Sun Hanyu Mugetsu nor the Yellow Flash Namikaze Minato can be a match for our Kumogakure AB combination." The Third Raikage has strong confidence in the new Kumogakure AB combination.
After Brupi's death, Killer Bee from the new AB combination became the new Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.
In terms of becoming a jinchūriki, Killer Bee showed great talent, and the Third Raikage saw a stronger future in Killer Bee than Bruin.
His son, the fourth-generation Ai, is not much worse than him. With the added bonus of a stronger Bi, the new AB combination has the potential to become the strongest AB combination.
Sand Village, Kazekage's office.
"We can achieve such results even after fighting on three fronts. Konoha is in too much danger!" After reading the intelligence, Luo Sha frowned deeply. He felt a strong sense of crisis.
The Fire Nation has a good location, almost in the center, and is basically separated from other major countries by only one or two small countries or a sea.
If Konoha wants to attack Sunagakure, it doesn't have to go through as many roundabout ways as Kumogakure. Konoha can just pass through the River Country and directly enter the heart of the Wind Country.
Although there is no reason for Konoha, which is fighting on three fronts, to go to war with Sunagakure again, the fact that Konoha now won't do so doesn't mean that Konoha in the future won't. Rasa is well aware of the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace.
For the Sand Village, it would be best if Konoha was beaten up by the Iwagakure and others, and then become weaker than the Sand Village. Only then would Konoha be a good neighbor.
"If Konoha continues at this pace, Sunagakure must take action." Rasa said to himself.
At that time, Luo Sha would rather negotiate with Kumogakure than go to war with Konoha. After all, Sand Village and Kumogakure are much farther away than Sand Village and Konoha.
Not only the major ninja villages that actively collected information, but even Minato Namikaze who was commanding the battlefield in the Land of Hot Springs heard some news about Mu Yue.
Minato Namikaze felt a little emotional. When he first met Mu Yue, Mu Yue was just a Chunin teacher. Now, more than two years have passed, and Mu Yue has become the famous Fiery Sun Mu Yue in the ninja world.
Namikaze Minato and Kushina taught Mu Yue the sealing technique together in order to give Mu Yue more power to protect herself in this chaotic situation. He never expected that Mu Yue would become famous in the ninja world so quickly.
Mu Yue's rise was too fast. Before becoming the Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze was also a famous and powerful jonin in Konoha. It only took Mu Yue more than two years to go from a chunin to a jonin and now to the title of Fiery Sun.
"Mu Yue has been on the battlefield for so long, and I don't know if Kushina has caused any trouble to the Anbu." Thinking of Kushina who was still receiving special training in Konoha, Minato smiled bitterly.
Mu Yue's food has magical powers. Once you have had a bite, you will never forget it. Kushina once quarreled with Minato that she wanted to eat Mu Yue's food, otherwise she would tie up the Anbu who was monitoring her and sneak out to find food.
Minato could actually understand Kushina. After all, if he had the chance to eat Mu Yue's cooking, he would choose to try it. However, Minato was more tolerant. If he felt it was too troublesome, Mu Yue would choose to endure it.
"But Mu Yue should be heading back to Konoha by now," Minato thought.
High-intensity combat can make people physically and mentally exhausted. Mu Yue has made great achievements one after another. Under normal circumstances, he would return to Konoha to recuperate for a short period of time before being assigned a war mission.
Defeating the Kirigakure solved Konoha's most urgent problem, and now Konoha is not so short of combat power.
Thinking of this, Minato wrote a letter and sent it back to Konoha.
He and Mu Yue had not communicated for quite a long time. When he was on the battlefield, Mu Yue was in Konoha. Later, when he returned to Konoha, Mu Yue was in the East Coast battlefield for some time. After Minato returned to the battlefield, he went to another battlefield.
…
Just as Minato had imagined, after the Kirigakure retreated, Orochimaru, Muzuki and the others returned to Konoha, leaving only a group of ninjas to guard the border to prevent the Kirigakure from attacking again.
To celebrate this great victory, Konoha held an event specifically for the East Coast Ninja Force.
At the event, Sarutobi Hiruzen personally narrated the various battle achievements on the East Coast battlefield, expressed condolences to the ninja troops on the East Coast battlefield, and also engraved a memorial tablet for the ninjas who died on the East Coast battlefield.
Of course, the last thing that cannot be missed is the reward for the ninja troops.
Ninjas who pay the war mission commission and meet the promotion requirements will be promoted. Obito is one of the Chunins who was promoted to Jonin.
When Obito got the new ninja certificate, he almost cried. It was not easy.
He was finally able to get rid of his identity as the only Chunin among Mu Yue's disciples. He, Uchiha Obito, was finally able to stand up in the ninja ranks, and Kakashi could no longer use his status as a Jonin to suppress him.
After becoming a jonin, Kakashi could never be higher than him, because jonin was the highest level of ninja.
As Obito successfully promoted, reward information also popped up on Mu Yue's panel.
